THE STAGE IS YOURS
Masterclass in acting for classical singers by Marc Krone

In this voice and acting masterclass, long standing director and teacher of opera and musical-theatre Marc Krone takes you on a enlightening trip on how to make your own choices and solve your problems on stage. Marc Krone gives you instant do-able solutions to acting problems.

Having taught and directed opera and musical-theatre for the last 15 years he has developed wide ranging techniques that don’t require extensive prior training but uncover the way to go about dramatic challenges.

Fun instead of frightening. Fast instead of burdensome.

Acting for singers? Opera directors tend to be first and foremost logistic managers. And no wonder: between the lights, sets, score, choreography and the endless discussions with the management of the opera house there just seems to remain very little time to tend to the actors/singers. And the time that is there will usually mostly be spent in blocking scenes and arias.

Therefore the director counts heavily on the self reliance of the performer. But it is that selfsame opera-performer that has had very little training in the realm of drama. This makes often frustrated directors, desperate singers and stilted performances. And more and more stage-directors cast singers that will offer more than only a heavenly voice.

True: becoming an expert actor will take years of diligent training.
But what does one do in the meantime?

This 2-days acting masterclass for (classical) singers is divided in 2 parts: mornings will be focused on acting techniques and afternoons on the essence of the music and text interpretation.
A pianist will be present both afternoons.
